Barriers Burned Away
by Edward Payson Roe
572 pages~10 hrs
“When a city burns, the walls of the heart are the first to fall.”
A destitute young striver finds his heart divided by the rigid social hierarchies of 1871 Chicago and the skeptical heart of a high-society heiress. When the historic Great Fire ignites, it promises to incinerate the barriers of class and faith—or destroy them both in the ashes.
